loading the boats and off to Palma

[Truro Ex Pat]

Some pictures of yesterdays loading.
My Sq 60, a new 75 before being lifted and 7 new Sunseekers all going to the Med!
Steruth1 on board as well but the picture of the front end or bow as we should say! was not clear.
Here we go 13 July we are our way.

Exciting times! Brings back plenty of memories (I've done it 4 times - it's quite an eye opening process isn't it?)
Very nice boat you have there - perfect for Med with that huge swim platform

Hope all goes well. Very exciting. May see you around Mallorca this summer? We are looking forward to welcoming Steruth1 to Cala d'Or next week.

Looks like it's getting in at 3am on Tuesday so will be hopefully sat in cala D'or with a beer by lunchtime����

Well done, you still have a good season ahead of you. We are coming down on our own bottoms and will cross Biscay into Spain in a couple of days after a great stop in Arcachon and now Bayonne.

Can't say that we are missing the UK in any measure other than rich tea biscuits and the dog; certainly not missing the south coast weather from what we've seen on weather pro....

Find out who your clearing agent is and start making calls now. When it arrives they will unload but this takes coordination between a number of people. Ship dockyard and clearing agent. You need them all in a line to get your boat off ....

Did the boats get off ok ? Are you in Cala Dor now ?

 

[Truro Ex Pat]

Yes we are all off, Steruth1 has arrived at C D Or, I am in Palma in a marina for now and do not get out there myself until next Tuesday, I believe there is much cleaning to do!
The trip was quicker than expected although I have some issues and not hearing from P&M despite e mailing them!

I'm amazed at all this shipping of uncovered boats. Apart from salt spray and angle grinding "spray", you get black gunk coming out of the ship's funnel. I always get a disposable cover, waterline to waterline

Where are you moored. I will come and say hi tomorrow
